Corbett says he has several available options regarding the ruling by the Commonwealth Court judge on the voter ID requirement: he can ask for a hearing before the entire Commonwealth Court, or he can appeal to the state Supreme Court.

But for now, the governor says, he will simply ask the Commonwealth Court judge who struck it down to reconsider his ruling — something Corbett describes as a common procedural move.

“Lawyers can disagree on everything,” Corbett said today. “I view that the law was constitutional. I view that it can be implemented constitutionally. The judge made a finding ‘no.’ We’ll see if he will reconsider it. If he doesn’t, then we’ll consider whether we should take it up on appeal.”

On Monday, Pennsylvania attorney general Kathleen Kane, who opposes the voter ID law, released a statement saying the decision to appeal the voter ID ruling rests solely with the governor and the secretary of the commonwealth.
